Registry engine can mislead the user

Clean and Fix My Computer run on an x64 Windows 7 desktop PC

Using the default settings, this key shows in the "Registry junk, Obsolete software entry" group: HKLM\Soft\Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

Ctrl+click on the green key in the top panel opens RegEdit at the items shown in Exhibit 1.

The file C:\Windows\INF\oem11.inf does exist. Could this item be a false positive?

No, because what the program removes is NOT what it shows in the list. What it removes is shown in Exhibit 2.

The bug is what is shown in the GUI. That part of the program disagrees with the part of the program that backs up and removes items. It is applicable on x64 systems.

A "Bug Tracking system" report will be made for this issue.

I have been trying to work my way around the problem for a few days now. It's a tricky thing to fix but I'll get it fixed.

I'll report the progress in this thread.
